COMING EVENTS.


II there is the shadow Of truth in the
lien that coming events are heralded by
complete general feeling Of exp' Clancy
it naturally follows that wonderful adj
yapcement in the resources OF our sur
rounding country is at hand. The
united u.tsrances of our business men,
which always voice public opinion, are
profusc in the prediction that there will
soon be an awakening in the commercial,
manufacturing and farming industries,
while in everysprairie, on every hill, and
beside our numerous streams fitted for
service in production, new enterprises
will spring up to keep pace with the
rapidly increasing demand. The feeling
of Lewiston men of capital to invest
their money in some enterprise that VIII
pay good dividend on the venture has
induced many Of them to purchase large
stocks Of goods, and to engage In milling,
manufacturing aud other kindred in
dustries, thus giving employment to all
that great class Of skilled and unskiied
toilers in the workshops OF life.
When the river shipping improve
mepts to Lewiston shall have been made,
ard the great network of the already
partially built aud projected railroads
leading to us shall have been completed,
there will be step forward in the I'D
yaucement Of our country little dreamed
Of now.
At the same time with this homo feel
ing Of coming events, aud simultaneous
" With the thought Of river and railroad
improvements, there has arisen in the
minds of eastern people sentiment OF
faith IN the great future Of Idaho Terri
tory, and . general belief that there Gan
DO found manifestations OF industrial
activity. The same process of California
and Oregon should be followed, which
has brought to them a large population
and untold wealth. 1t is that of send
ing our journals, pamphlets and all other
printed matter descriptive Of our country
and this locality to III, eastern states,
aud there should be established, in Lew
iston, board Of immigration, for this
city will soon be the center to which thu
influx Of immigration will come, cs-
pecially for this par: Of Idaho. Thes'
processes will bring men aud women born
in the very atmosphere Of enterprise and
reared in tho lap Of successful ventures.
and they are looking westward. Some
are coming in scattered companies and
others in . we'll organised colony phalanx
aud each should bo supplied with COM
plete information as to the advantages
for the thrifty settler in this territory.
Tais simultaneous sense of u near in
dustrial prosperity has but one meanin.,
aud that is. that by some people apply
ing principles Of progress, Lewiston's latent
powers are to be dragged forth. We hope
the people who do this will be the sons OF
our city, the present posscssors Of hc'
implement resources and opportunities,
and not the people from other states,
who are m, re ready to recognize thai
enterprise 10 king, more active to seiz
the chances Of fortune, and more acute
in the application Of those true principles
Of trade by faith 10 which wealth i,
wooed and won. The men of Lewiston
who have controlled her des,inies in the
theatre Of the past, must see to it that
they do not forget her coming future,
and permit the prizes OF wealth and
honor for future progress to be awarded
to o,hers who come from elsewhere in
answer to her call.
